To aZZ whom it may convent:

Be it known that l, GEORGE S. Knerre, a citizen of the United States, residing'at La Grange, in the county of Cook and State of illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Corner-Bead Clips, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in clips for attaching and supporting corner beads to the corners of Walls to be plastered.

Une of the objects of my invention is to provide a clip, for convenient, separable engagement with a corner bead, adapted to be secured to the Wall at points farther removed from the corner than the lateral dimensions of the bead proper will permit.

A further object of my invention is to provide a clip that may be easily and firmly secured to the corner bead, after the latter has been erected and temporarily fastened to the corner of the Wall, without disturbing the temporary fastening devices that directly engage the bead.

Another object of my invention is to provide a clip that can be made advantageously and cheaply Without requiring special tools, and one that can be quickly and easily applied.

Other and further objects of my invention will" become readily apparent, to persons skilled in the art, from a consideration of the following description when taken in conjunction with the draw-ings, Wherelligure 1 is an elevation of a corner oi a wall to be plastered, showing the bead attached thereto and the manner of applying the attaching clips. Fig. 2 is a section of same. IFig. 3 is an isometric perspective view of the clip.

ln all the views the same reference characters are employed to indicate similar parts.

5 is an angular Wall to be plastered, showing a corner bead 6 temporarily attached thereto, as by means of nails 7. The lat/eral wings 11 and 12 of the bead are provided with openings 8 at intervals in their longitudinal dimensions through which the plaster is intended to key. The bead proper, 9 or the part projecting beyond the plaster is provided with a throat 1 0, from which the side Wings 11 andlQ diverge.

lt frequently occurs that the Well. to which the bead is to be applied. is not ot such character that nails can be passed through the bead so near the corner ot the Gli 'the bead may be temporarilv placed in position at the corner of the Wall and held temporarily thereto by means of nails 19 Whichfmay be passed through the perforations 'l' in the side Wings of the bead or otherwise. rl`he bead may then be more securely held in place by means of a plurality or cli s 14. ln applying the clips the tongue 16, vv ich iscurved on a somewhat shorter radius than the tongues l5 and l?, is placed under the edge of one of the Wings, 11 and 12. The tongue 16 will pass freely through one of the perorations 8, on? the beadkthe other tonguesl l5 and l? will pass into the throat ot the bead, or the point from which the two wings radiate, thereby bracing the clip in place, after which the tongue 16 may be turned back upon the clip, as shovvnin Fig. l 'to overlie a part ot the marginal edge of the respective Wing between the perforations 8 and the longitudinal salient edge of the Wing. After the clips have been placed in position, or 'which there'may be any desired number Within the longitudinal extent o' the bead, plastering is applied to the vvall and the bead head 9, serves as a ground to `which to nish the plaster.

@ne of the special advantages of the form of clip which l have herein disclosed, lies in the fact that the tongues 15 and l?A may be passed under the edge of the wing, between it and the Wall, Without materially displacing the bead from its proper position. The application of the clip to the bead does not require extraneous or separable fastening devices, and it does not close any ci the perfor-ations. such as 8, that are left in the side 'wings of the bead, through which theplaster is keyed.

'Haring described my invention, what l claim is l. The combination with corner eend having a bead proper and side wings diverging therefrom and having perorations therein, or a substantially straight attaching clip having a plurality ot parallel, lonvao lll@

lll@

gitudinally extending tongues, one of which 1s passed out through one of said perforations and bent back upon the Wing after its insertion, the other lying against the inner surface of said wings and extending to and into engagement with the throat of the bead at the point from whence the side Wings diverge.

2. The combination with a corner bead. having a bead proper and side wings diverging therefrom and having erforations therein, of a substantially stra1ght attaching clip having a plurality of parallel, coex tensive longitudinally-extending uni-direc- Lmmee tionally curved tongues; one of which is passed out through one of said perforations and. bent back upon the wing after its insertion, the other engaging the throat of the bead at the point from whence the side wings diverge.

In testimony whereof I hereunto set my hand in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses.
